Introduction: November is the month of remembrance in our Catholic faith. We pray for our loved ones and pray with our loved ones who have left this world. We pray for their entry into eternal life with God. Loving God with all our being and loving our neighbor as ourselves puts us on the road to eternal life. Let us thank God and praise him for the promise of heaven.
Penitential Rite - Priest:
Lord Jesus - you are the cornerstone.
Christ Jesus - you are the Lord of all.
Lord Jesus - you are the radiance of God’s glory.
Priest: With true confidence in God, let us now present our prayers with faith and hope:
1. For our Holy Father Pope Francis, for our Bishop Joseph Kopacz and all Church leaders, that we may find in them the inspiration to live out the spirit of the Eucharist in our lives. We pray to the Lord.
2. For all of our civil servants who help us maintain clean water, dependable electrical power, and reliable communication systems. We pray to the Lord.
3. For our first responders, the men and women in the military, our medical professionals, and our veterans. For their dedication to public health and safety. We pray to the Lord.
4. For those who are sick in body, mind, or spirit. For those living with terminal illness. That they feel God’s love, care, and compassion. We pray to the Lord.
5. That all of us will work to bring God’s love and compassion to the world, especially to the lonely and the forgotten. We pray to the Lord.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence of our hearts today. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: We thank you for this opportunity to present our prayers today. May we be thankful for our prayers whether they be answered or unanswered. Through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
